Dan Brown's Angels and Demons: A True Work of Art

Like most people, I did not read Angels and Demons until after I read The DaVinci Code. Blown away by The DaVinci Code, I gave Angels and Demons a try. Dan Brown’s books are true masterpieces of literature. He spins complicated webs of plot, character, and suspense.

The book Angels and Demons start out with the beloved scholar/symbologist Robert Langdon receiving a phone call in the early morning. After a disturbing fax comes in of a mutilated body, he sets off on a high intensity journey in hopes of stopping a murderous cult and saving the Vatican.

I would highly recommend any of Dan Brown’s books but especially Angels and Demons. A word of warning: if you are not 100% set in your faith, don’t read this book. Just like The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons causes controversy with his inclusion of the Catholic Church and religious myths. It was this controversy that initially caused me to buy his books and find out what all the fuss was about.

I AM someone who is deeply sure of my faith and because of this assurity I did not second guess my beliefs for a work of fiction. Part of this controversy is from people who are worried that these books will have people denouncing their faith because now they have another point of view with unanswered questions.

In my personal opinion, if reading any work of fiction is going to cause you to question your beliefs and faith, you really didn’t have faith to begin with.
